okay wait there's one possible failure mode in this reference which we might have to consider

“have you got tap?” / “can i tap?” is a common local verbiage here

(also “got snapscan?” but that’s more popular in some cities than others, depending how much inroads snapscan has made)

(we also still have a fairly healthy cash market)

god I was wondering how to express this, and you nailed it

(the other thing that came to mind was all those “femoids” quotes that came up in (iirc) münecat’s manosphere video)

probably because the vagueposting in the top half of your comment wasn’t actually clearly stating what it meant, and the latter half suffers from internet-stalking-horse incorrect conclusionism

just a guess tho.

starter tip: stop talking about women as if they don’t have any agency, and stop using them as a reasoning device in your unnecessary posts

the thing is that the git branch naming was only one of the places among many where this was changed, and in many databases (and often other server-subsystem architectures) master/slave terminology was quite present. iirc there are still some that stick by it today (mostly out of direct choice by project maintainers)

it’s the same thing as whitelist/blacklist, vs allowlist/denylist (or others) - when there’s bad shit linked in baggage, and the cost of changing it (by habit and choice) isn’t all that much, there’s not really any reason to hold by the the old loaded shit

harm reduction comes in many forms
